GLASS WOOL THERMAL INSULATION

Glass Wool Batts will increase temperature comfort and minimise energy within the home. Manufactured from up to 100% recycled glass, they provide excellent thermal resistance whilst being easy to install.

Bio-Solubility

There is no Australian Standard against which the bio-solubility of glass wool is tested. The glass wool used in the insulation batts supplied by Insulwest complies with the same European Standard that is used as a reference by manufacturers in Australia.

Maximum Service Temperature

The maximum service temperature of glass wool is 350 degrees C. However this product is not designed for high temperature applications.

Corrosion Resistance

When tested in accordance with BS 3958: Part 5-1969, glass wool returned a pH of 8.0 (neutral is pH 7.0) and therefore will not cause corrosion to steel.

Glass wool products are also available as a board, in various thicknesses and laminated with foil as required. Used extensively in HVAC ducting.
